How will you spend your 4% increase in salary?

[ToraToraTora]

I'd be more interested in which "Peter" Queen Nicola is robbing too pay this "Paul"!

I'd be spending mine at Sturgeon Barbers, close shaves a speciality.

[ToraToraTora]

yes pedants it's the wrong "too" - It's a typo don't have a coronary.

[emmie]

guess we don't have too many Scottish NHS staff on these pages, but good luck to those who get the increase. I too wonder though how its going to be paid for.

[douglas9401]

Restless night, Tora, or an early start on the spirits? :-P

[anneasquith]

Douglas, maybe a close shave but, it lasts longer ‘-)

[ToraToraTora]

dougie, the sun may be over the yard arm but I have not touched a drop!

[anneasquith]

Emmie, I doubt you need worry about Scottish politics. Maybe concentrate on your own country .

[emmie]

i do already, but you must admit you didn't post a link and i did. And like you i am entitled to my opinion just like the other Abers.

[Zacs-Master]

Hard not to be involved in Scottish politics when they're funded from English taxes.

[emmie]

zacs i was going to add that, but for once thought better of it.

[Zacs-Master]

Why, it's true!

[anneasquith]

It’s true zac, and we thank you so much and you emmie for the contribution you give so willingly to us in Scotland .

[emmie]

i didn't say it wasn't true, but generally the backlash comes sooner than later.

[ToraToraTora]

anne: "Emmie, I doubt you need worry about Scottish politics. Maybe concentrate on your own country . " - last I looked Scotland was part of my country and it'll be English tax payers that make this largesse possible.

[emmie]

i think that if you become Independent then this sort of thing won't be allowed to happen. You will have to check where every penny is spent, if it doesn;t come from the Westminster coffers.

[teacake44]

At least Nicola Sturgeon can face up to an 7/8 hour inquiry and come out clean. Boris couldn't face an hour, and she's rewarded dedication to her front line, how she pays for it, who cares.

[Zacs-Master]

That's OK anne (said Zac through gritted teeth).

[Zacs-Master]

Awww gawd, the half-arsed thinking brigade have polluted yet another thread.
